ABSTRACT
Following the experience of most profound wisdom traditions, Harvard professor Howard Gardner identifies reflection as one of the three competencies (along with leveraging and framing) that distinguish extraordinary leaders from ordinary leaders and managers. According to Professor Gardner,
Reflection means spending a lot of time thinking about what it is that you are trying to achieve, seeing how you are doing, continuing if things are going well, correcting course if not; that is, being in a constant dialectic with your work, your project or your set of projects and not just going on blind faith [for extended periods] without stepping back and reflecting.
